Research direction

No source file or test is named. Reproduce the issue on Windows 10 with the reported mpv build, using the attached screenshot and reproduction description, then trace the error-message and right-click-menu interaction. Done means the menu can be displayed after the error appears and the behavior is covered by an appropriate regression check if one exists.
